The epoché of the epoché: reflections on a phenomenological reduction in the field of design
The purpose of the writing that follows is to outline primary reflections on a possible epoché about the epistemology of design that does not start from the apodictic evidence of the design attitude, the designer. In this sense, based on the observation of an epistemological search for a phenomenological bias in design, reflections are undertaken on the “cultural epoché”, material culture, the self and the non-self in order to raise questions about the original awareness of the suspension about the design and as such would affect obtaining an essence of the field.

A bedtime story for grown-ups: the mango tree hymn about the heroes that aren't in portraits
"Who hasn't heard the expression "If I've seen further, it's because I've been standing on the shoulders of giants?" A metaphor from centuries ago, which has been distorted by generations until it reaches our ears. Distorted, just like the history of our Brazil, as the first hose station in Sapucaí shouted in its parade, already as champion of the Carioca Carnival, which took place the day after the celebrated International Women's Day."

Fetishism and Fashion in "The Birds" (1963) by Alfred Hitchcock
This study stems from the desire to explore fetish, fashion and cinema, intertwining them to compose a fashion project. The core of this monograph are the fetish relationships linked to the character of Melanie Daniels and everything that composes her in the feature film Birds of 1963 by the Englishman Alfred Hitchcock. The objective is the development of a fashion collection, based on the analysis of the character, adopting as a basis the book The Birds (1999) by Camille Paglia. The project is structured in two sections: in the first, we explore the Hitchcockian character of Melanie Daniels, in order to propose an authorial interpretation, the second presents this interpretation and the concept of the project. In the second section, in addition to the concept, a methodology is developed that combines product design (JONES, 1970) and fashion design (TREPTOW, 2013), in addition to other design tools. In the end, the EINALEM collection is obtained: composed of twelve compositions, twenty-five products - including clothing and accessories - the collection, finally, represents the authorial concept obtained from Hitchcock's character.
